I'm pretty sure that the ftp client that comes with Windows 2000 doesn't 
support it. I tried ftping some stuff through my firewall recently and 
no luck. It also complained about an unrecognized command when I tried 
to go to PASV.

IE also seems to do all FTP in the normal way, thus it not working 
through my firewall/NAT.

I supposedly configured the FTP proxy on my firewall, but I'm not sure 
why it isn't working. Perhaps, an upgrade or a switch to a different 
firewall software is in order. I seem to recall FTP proxy working 
properly when I used ipfw.

Sorry, I didn't add much to help the OP. I've never tried a Fedora FTP 
install. I've done it with Slackware, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. They all 
worked just fine. I believe I had to tell one of them to use passive 
mode, but I forget which.

Since you're having trouble burning coasters, maybe someone could burn 
you an image?
